India vs Vietnam Live Streaming: The AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026 kicks off for India’s Blue Tigresses against Vietnam’s Golden Star Warriors in a crucial Group C opener at Perth Rectangular Stadium in Australia on Wednesday (March 4).

India, coached by Amelia Valverde, qualified on merit for the first time and enter as the group underdogs, ranked lower than their opponents – Vietnam, Japan and Chinese Taipei.

The squad, led by forward Sweety Devi, aims for a positive start in a tough group featuring powerhouses Japan and Chinese Taipei. A strong showing here is vital, as the top teams secure direct spots at the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027 in Brazil.

India’s challenge is compounded by limited recent international exposure-their last matches were in October 2025. Vietnam, reaching the quarter-finals last edition, hold a dominant head-to-head record, winning both prior Asian Cup encounters against India with multiple goals.

The Golden Star Warriors bring experience, attacking flair, and momentum as a rising force in Asian women’s football. India will rely on defensive solidity, counter-attacks, and set-pieces to upset the odds and build confidence for tougher fixtures ahead. Vietnam are favored, but an inspired Indian performance could spark history. This match sets the tone for both teams’ World Cup aspirations in a high-stakes tournament opener.

Ahead of the opener, the Blue Tigresses had to endure a bolt from the blue courtesy of AIFF. The apex body of Indian football sent the wrong kits to Australia, which were unfit for almost all the players. It created panic as the team management had to rush and find a last-minute fix with a local vendor in Perth.
